Artist:

David Parsons

"What a long, strange trip it's been." It was the Grateful Dead who sang that line, but it's David Parsons who has actually lived it. Starting as a young jazz drummer in New Zealand, Parsons’ career has taken a circuitous route which has seen him become an electronic music pioneer, and then a globetrotting world music producer, recording the award-winning 17-CD series "The Music of Islam" for Celestial Harmonies, as well as ground-breaking projects in Cambodia, Armenia, Vietnam, Indonesia and the Himalayas.
